Jimmy Kebe got off to a strong start but lost some chips in subsequent levels. He is heading back in the right direction though, after check-raising the flop in a three-handed pot. Jen Mason was playing the small blind and Kebe was in the big, with another player on the cutoff, who bet 3,500 into the pot. Mason folded but Kebe upped the price to 10,500 and it was good to take the chips.

They were off to the races, with Kassa holding a pair of ![]()
against his opponent's ![]()

"It was a good time to find jacks" said Graeme Bester as he collected the chips he'd won in a three-way all in. "Good time to squeeze," added a fellow player at his table.
It certainly worked out well for Bester who had three-bet all in for 23,000 over an open and two flat calls. The initial raiser folded but the cutoff player called for 11,000 and Justin Bateson decided he wanted to play too, calling from the button.
